Kilgannon, Tadhg. Sligo and its Surroundings; a Descriptive and Pictorial Guide to the History, Scenery, Antiquities, and Places of Interest in and around Sligo. Sligo: Kilgannon & Sons, Ltd. 1926. Irish Collection, John J. Burns Library, Boston College.
In an effort to bring to book lovers everywhere an experience akin to wandering through the John J. Burns Library’s fascinating stacks, the photos featured in this Flickr set are the first in a series of informal glimpses of a few of the books in our special collections. The images, which appear as a set on the Burns Library’s Flickr photostream, are from one of Burns’ best-known and most used collections – the Irish Collection, which originated with the acquisition of the library of Boston lawyer John T. Hughes in the 1940s, and has grown to international renown. As always, we encourage anyone interested to visit the John J. Burns Library Reading Room to use these, or any, of our holdings!
